I think the only reason they don’t have one is because it would be too offensive for even the most hard-core anti-gay, homophobic bigot. And even if it wasn’t offensive to that type of person, they’d have a heck of a time trying to explain all the dodo that goes on in and around these ex-gay ministries.

Being undetectable and being cured are two very different things. These people need to know that.

….as if THAT’s an excuse.

That timeless citation from Thomas Paine’s Age of Reason springs to mind once more: “Is it more probable that nature should go out of her course or that a man should tell a lie? We have never seen, in our time, nature go out of her course. But we have good reason to believe that millions of lies have been told in the same time. It is therefore at least millions to one that the reporter of a miracle tells a lie.”

If you’re going to do a serious investigation into Manning’s extraordinary claims, you might as well investigate witches and tooth fairies too.

This will help you understand what Matthew C Manning is really about.

There are many details I haven’t felt comfortable writing about just yet, but there will be a time.

Matthew C Manning is evil in the guise of Christianty.

sigh.

Randy was asked about this.

Randy,

In light of the recent stories being written about Pastor Matthew Manning, do you think this conference will discuss the ways in which the hypocrisy and lies committed by ex-gays hurts your movement’s credibility?

This was his response:

I don’t know where that would fit in. It (the topic of credibility … maybe not specifically about Matthew) might fit in a bit with my Post-gay paradigm workshop.

But, that said, Matthew isn’t a part of Exodus and we aren’t in direct relationship with him. It would be out of line for us to use him as an example without trying to talk to him first. Plus, regardless of Matthew, there are many more positive and truthful examples and topics to uplift.

Nobody is hell bent on destroying you. There is very little moral judgment being passed in this article. All this blog has done is matter-of-factly shine the light on the truth to the claims you have made. You claim to be healed of homosexuality, yet you grope men in the hot tubs at fitness clubs. You claim to be healed of HIV, yet you provide zero evidence for this. You claim to advocate Christian virtues, yet you refuse your followers to contact their families for years at a time.

There is a vast difference between a personal attack, and exposing a hypocrite with truth and reason and evidence. Anyone can quote bible gibberish all they want, but a real Christian would be morally and intellectually honest enough to see that Manning is a fraud and a liar and a spewer of hate.
